I can agree with the Fugazi. Those are their 2 best

and it's more like Plastic Surgery Disasters > Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

I like Todd Rundgren.

Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra are all rad.

I don't think that is an unpopular opinion.

I think Steve Albini might be misunderstood. He seems like he is just sort of a fiery guy who doesn't take shit from anyone.

Anyways, I'll do the underrated overrated thing.

Underrated bands-
Jesus and Mary Chain
Slint
Happy Go Licky
Rites of Spring
Post VU John Cale
Suicide
Prince
PJ Harvey
Kool Keith/Dr. Octagon
Gary Wilson
Squeeze
Gary Numan/Tubeway Army
Todd Rundgren
Gang of Four
The Cramps
Beat Happening

Overrated bands-
AC-DC
Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan
The Smiths
Yo La fucking Tengo
Post-VU Lou Reed
The Flaming Lips
Dinosaur Jr. (I like them, but I don't think they are spectacular)


Some album comparisons
Bowie's best two albums are Diamond Dogs and Station to Station, not Hunky fucking Dory and Ziggy Stardust as popular opinion states.

Pixie's best album is Trompe Le Monde

Bowie sucks.

There.

i love skate punk bands like nofx and i really enjoy third wave ska bands. i think alot of sonic youth lyrics are trying too hard to be poetic and they should just shut up and play guitar.

and i can't believe all the bob dylan trashing i'm seeing.

I think that too, sometimes.

To be honest I'm growing tired of the music icons bashing on this board, that's really childish and narrow-minded sometimes...

anybody feel like hating on Kate Bush, Greatest Singer Alive? I dare you.

Strangely enough, I've never even heard her.

foo fighters are better than nirvana...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Bloodhound Gang rules!

I think most Fugazi fans will agree on that.

Yeah, I love I'm in on the Killtaker. Although Repeater is really good too.



By the way. I hate the Grateful Dead.

Just to be clear, this is sarcasm right? Normally I'd assume so, but I'm never sure with you...

I have always found her vocal style to be unlistenable.
She is undeniably talented, so I won't say she sucks, but I could go my whole life without ever hearing her sing again.
Other singers who similarly bug the crap out of me despite obvious talent:

BJORK
Tori Amos
Joanna Newsom
The girls in CocoRosie
Tom Waits
Jeff Magnum

Yeah, I guess the decades of fame, millions of dollars, gazillions of record sales and numerous hit singles would defintely place him in the "underappreciated" category.
Ahem.

no joke!!
---stuff i like but most here probably don't
the white stripes
stevie ray vaughan
wilson pickett
the mamas and the papas
johnny cash
hank williams
the carter family
lorretta lynn
anything green day pre american idiot
sonic youth's expiremental jetset, trash and no star

And that's the truth..

i hate the grateful dead too and i'm a sucker for almsot all the other jam bands

i really like the white stripes, stevie ray vaughan, johnny cash, pre american idiot green day, and not hank williams but hank williams III is quite the bad ass

You mean Underrated, I hope ?

Doolittle is the Pixies worst album. (highly unpopular, I suspect)

"Noise" rock as a genre is for bands who don't really know how to play thier insturments.

I think Modest Mouse suck hard.

amen, that's why it's so cool!!

Ambrosia are the best band ever.

The Grateful Dead are amazing.

Johnny Cash is bad.

Free Jazz (i.e. Derek Baily) is horrible

Noise music is fun to listen to.

This is good sense.

i think Velvet Underground & Nico is too overated...
i prefer WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT....

derek bailey's a little strange even for free jazz. i still like him but it's not the first person i think of when i think free jazz. and vu and nico is overrated just because nico sucks anus

we've already been here in the last board, right?

dylan, while far from sucking, is really not an icon or the greatest songwriter in the history of forever. he only has like 6 good albums in the span of 40-plus years.

prince sucks, all he does is rip off funkadelic, sly and bit of marvin; with shitty 80's production

elvis costello sucks save for his first 3 albums

the pretenders suck
yeah yeah yeahs suck
white stripes suck
animal collective are heading south. feels sucks
bjork is the worst singer ever. she's not excentric, she's a horrible person

i love pretty much everything the flaming lips have done in their career (pretty unpopular since pretty much everybody loves one thing they do and then hate the rest)

wilco's a ghost is born is one of their best
rage against the machine sucks
beck sucks
architecture in helsinki and broken social scene are crap

i'm starting to fail to see the good in deerhoof; all i'm hearing recently is an americanized, watered down pitchfork media-ready version of OOIOO and melt-banana. and not just the runners four

queens of the stone age suck in comparison with kyuss

springsteen sucks since the end of the 70's

i agree with the david lee roth comments made before (schizo knows what i'm talking about)

and i said it once and i'll said it again and i don't care if you give me bad reputation points for it but the best sonic youth cover ever is NIC FIT!!!! (even thought it's a very stiff competition)


well, that's about it. i like too much music too much

all sonic youth except for goo and dirty sucks

thats not at all an "unpopular" opinion. many fans would agree.

most noise music is more boring than most pop.
good thread.

Have fun in hell people!

majority of SY songs are annoying and hurt my ears. Sorry but screeching guitar noise is not music.

That's what my mother says.

Yeah Laila, turn that that stereo down. I can't hear mine (ha ha, not funny)

I like Sting.

Without The Police?
